Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Touch n Go Band
Bill Fulton Touch N Go New Year’s Day 1987 records Bill Fulton’s January 1, 1987 keyboard performance with the Touch N Go Band in San Jose, California. The band appeared at the Red Lion Inn, which later became DoubleTree by Hilton.
Fulton worked with Touch N Go during 1986 and 1987, performing engagements in California and Oregon. As a result, these dates provide a snapshot of his professional keyboard work during the mid-1980s.
New Year’s Day performance in San Jose
The January 1 engagement followed the band’s New Year’s Eve performance at the same hotel. Touch N Go continued performing for guests and visitors as the new year began, with Fulton on keyboards. The engagement was part of several consecutive dates at the San Jose property.
Regular live work required musicians to maintain a broad repertoire and adapt to different performance situations. Furthermore, this experience supported Fulton’s work in other areas of music, including arranging and composing.

The Red Lion Inn was located at 2050 Gateway Place in San Jose. Today, the property operates under the DoubleTree by Hilton name. Information about Hilton and its hotels is available from the official Hilton website.
This engagement is preserved as part of the Bill Fulton events archive, which documents performances from throughout his professional career. Visitors can also explore his arranging and composing work.
The Bill Fulton Touch N Go New Year’s Day 1987 performance helps document the continuity of Fulton’s live work during this period. It also places his keyboard career alongside the composing and arranging work that became increasingly important in the years that followed.
